makes provisions for pensions to all
veterans who are now or may become
unable to earn their own livelihood; it
calls for a direct continuance of pen
siOns for widows in their own right; for
an increase of the present pittance of

There was a prolonged debate at the

the Grand Army should go on record as
being une"quivocally opposed to its con-
